DrinkBox Studios’ Guacamelee! 2 is coming to PC and PS4 on August 21.
Guacamelee! 2 retains the vibrant colors and art style of the original, and moves its Metroidvania gameplay forward with the addition of “drop-in 4 player local co-op,” as well a new upgrade system, an improved graphics engine, and a new rendering engine.
Guacamelee! 2 was first announced during Sony’s PlayStation Media Showcase pre-show at Paris Games Week last October, with an expected release date of “soonish.”
The sequel comes over 5 years after the original Guacamelee! hit PC, PS3 and PS Vita. Eventually, the original Guacamelee! would see several expanded editions, including Guacamelee!: Gold Edition and Guacamelee!: Super Turbo Championship Edition, as well as limited edition physical releases of the game and the Super Turbo Championship Edition for PS4.
